Tamiya Mercedes-AMG GT3 (TT-02)

This R/C assembly kit depicts the fabulous body of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car, which was created for GT3 class racing. The GT3 is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT, which was launched in late 2015 for customer sport racing. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 has blazed new trails in customer sports with its intelligent vehicle concept. The excellent racetrack performance of the standard GT already proved the best possible basis for this new GT3 class race car. The 6.3-liter V8 powered car has quickly become a modern legend with race results like a clean sweep of the top 4 position in a 2016 Nürburgring 24-hour race.

Adaptable TT-02 Chassis offers balanced shaft driven 4WD

The shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to offer excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings (the higher position is used with the Lancia Delta Integrale) and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
